Ron Kamal Arody

Ron Kamal Arody, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, and friend, passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by his family and friends on August 9th, 2025.
Born on May 5th, in Mangalore, India, he lived a full life of adventure, laughter, and love. Ron attended California State University in 1996, where he was a proud member of the Eta Phi Chapter of the Sigma Nu Fraternity. He was a Casualty Insurance broker for over twenty years, most recently for Hull & Co. Bridge Specialty for the past five years.
As a lifetime lover of music of all genres, we all had many joyful moments with him listening to all his favorites, including Bohemian Rhapsody. He was always happy, no matter the place, whether on a golf course, at the beach, capturing the next photo, or hanging out with his family. Ron was known for his easy smile, quick wit, and his signature sendoff: "Have a Kickass Day." He lived by those words, encouraging everyone around him to embrace life fully and with gratitude.
He is survived by his wife, Tracy Arody; children, Nicholas and Isabella Arody; stepchildren, Preston and Allie Beckstead; his grandchildren, Theo Benazzo-Arody and Campbell Beckstead; and his parents, Kamalaksha and Shakuntala Arody.
A Celebration of Ron's life will be held by the family at a later date.
